Ueno, at a Glance

Ueno (上野), being a famous dating spot has lots and lots of gardens.

This is Ueno Onshi Park's Shinobazunoike (上野恩賜公園、不忍池).

Anyway, didn't have the chance to explore around the park as we were rushing to the National Museum before its closing time.

A fountain near the National Museum.

Ueno is not only parks, parks and more parks. It's a bustling city as well...

... with "entertainment sites" like this...

... and this... (Sorry, my eyes just strayed away...)

Heck, it even has it's own Giza!

This is surely a weird looking building that defies the laws of physics!

Like the rest of Japan, it has lots of shrines too!

Huh? A megane (glasses) memorial? Beats me!
